I live in Kingsland with my partner Sean, our baby Mabel and our dog Wesley. If your dog(s) get along with Wes (full male dog) and baby Mabel (3 months old so not at the grabby or crawling stage!) then we would be more than happy to have them stay in our home with us. We have hosted dogs before and it’s been a very chilled experience, even though these dogs have history of difficulties. We live in a house with a big and very enclosed garden and lovely walks around. Wes gets on great with most dogs when allowed to play in garden together to meet properly. He loves to play and has even shown healing abilities with certain rescues teaching how to play and also how to relax! We are both deeply caring, sensitive and tuned in to animals, here to provide the best possible care. We adapt to the animals needs and flow with how feels best. We love exploring nature with dogs and also taking time to nurture. I have plenty experience with dogs horses, cats, bunnies, chickens, goats, hedgehogs, monkeys, elephants, sheep, cows, hamsters, birds, all sorts.... I have spent a lot of time with quirky dogs and rescues. I have volunteered on a rare breeds farm, travelled and spent time with many animals so nothing is out of my comfort zone. I have worked for butternut box dog food, so am clued up on nutrition and health. This ties into my love of herbalism and natural therapies. I usually cook homemade food for the pups including fresh veg and herbs and locally sourced meat. I have volunteered in Greece, caring for over 70 cats and a few dogs, medicating, feeding, cleaning, taking in injured etc. I volunteered for a rescue centre walking dogs, increasing awareness of sensitive dogs. I have worked as a support worker on a care farm, which focused on animal rehabilitation, namely horses, whilst providing alternative education for a diverse range of people and children. Holding space for exploration of self and gentleness and care with and for the animals as reflectors was a wonderful way to help children grow, thrive and find peace in a space outside of school. I have also worked in primary schools as a teaching assistant so emotional support, regulation and providing nourishment for growth is well practiced. I spent good time with a deaf and blind dog (Judy) which has opened new ways of communicating beyond those senses. I believe that we are here to help eradicate the fear from animals. I love animals with quirks as it opens pathways into healing for them and those around them. I have experience training, basic first aid and have looked after new born puppies and kittens. I was there for Daisy when she gave birth to the kittens. I have cared for a paraplegic dog for a week including physio and i have cared for a dog with epilepsy. Caring comes down to a lot more than physical needs being met! It would be a good idea to introduce everyone so please do get in touch and come round for tea! I love expressing seen beauty through art and photography so cute pics guaranteed! Open to commission also. I am super passionate about animals and care, and also deeply respect them. If you need any extra support with your home as well I am more than happy to drop by and keep an eye on things whilst you’re away and can also provide cleaning services. Look forward to hearing from you.
